    SHEIN is back at it again, Loyal Theorists. If you remember from our previous episode we learned that the fast fashion brand STOLE from popular RUclipsr Cassey Ho (Blogilates). But things just got WORSE. Not only did they steal from Cassey again, but they also got involved in a Rico lawsuit and earned BAD press from social media influencers. Can SHEIN survive this?

    Just wanna notice: stop buying from shady shops doesnt help freeing labor. Our bigger companies use asian labor too, for example when my mom wws 14-16 she worked for adidas and nikey- basically we'll never be able to stop labor, the only way we can help workers is to pay them more.

    • @ElusiveTy
      @ElusiveTy 4 месяца назад +34

      I'd certainly hope that no one is trying to 'stop labour'. There's not an issue with labour (we provide labour just by working anywhere), it's the kind of labour that's the problem. The thing is, increasing wages for those workers will increase the end product price. For anyone that supports paying those labourers more money, the way you can support that is by buying products from companies that already do, which will already have more expensive products.
      It's hard to know which companies to support and avoid but there are some outliers that are absolutely horrible to be purchasing from like Temu, Wish, and SHEIN.

      The most effective way to force your will onto a company is by boycotting them. Look at BP. If every single person in Europe or america would stop buying from them now, they would change so fast, you wouldn't believe it. As a consumer you have power. If you choose to go to a pup full of racists than you are supporting racism. If you are buying from brands like shein, you are directly supporting enslavement. You are responsible for your choices.

      Still just a theory. Other companies infamous for hated practices are doing just fine. I don't see a Chinese company giving up it's primary advantage just to salvage an IPO, and the bad press isn't hurting their bottom line enough to matter. Company valuation is more than just stock, and they know they just need to get their foot in the door, not actually change.

    At my school learning about sweatshops was part of the curriculum, and we were taught about how Nike are one of the biggest users of sweatshops in the world. We had to play a simulation of a sweathsop worker's life. It's disgusting that Nike can still be so massive, and have so little backlash even as their workers keep speaking out about their horrible treatment.

They love peddling antibiotics, too, and not cleaning your ears is how you get infections. You don't need doctors for 90% of things, they just want money.

    Shein isn’t much different than these other big companies😂. Many have stolen designs & use cheap labor.
    If American made wasn’t so expensive I’d consider it. However until someone is buying my clothes for me, I’ll shop where I want.

      shein actually is a lot a worse than other companies. i used to think the same thing, but i learned even shopping at other fast fashion companies like h&m or zara does wayyy less harm. and you won’t potentially be exposed to lead form their dyes

    I always thought that in order to stop SHEIN was to not shop from there.

      Exactly. Just not buying from them and trying to find a legal case against them would be all be can do. Shein being on NYSE wouldn't do anything but fill the owner's pockets.
